- All you have to do is give your self ‘permission’ to take a few minutes, without any distractions.
- Sit comfortably, with eyes closed.
- Now, put your attention on your breathing. Be aware of your breath moving in and out, flowing past the nostrils.
- Simply pay attention to the breath. Be aware of your breath as it flows in; be aware of your breath as it flows out.
- Do not regulate the breath in any way. You are simply observing it.
- Whenever your mind wanders (and it will), gently bring it back to the breath, moving in, moving out.
- Observe the thoughts and feelings as they arise, as if they are not your own. Witness them as if you are watching a parade.
- Within a few minutes, you may start to feel relaxed, or at least begin to regain some composure.
